A solution for bandwidth bottlenecks and network management nightmares.
Current Scenario at the IP backbone
Today’s networks are more than just vehicles for information exchange. They are networks facing an outburst of users growing exponentially with diverse applications being deployed rapidly. With the load on networks increasing by the day, frequent outages have become a routine coupled with complaints from various users on declining performance levels.
Management of such networks and applications have become an impossible task. The easy answer: adding more resources like the link speed complemented with high-end servers to balance the load between the users and the applications.
At this juncture, it becomes essential to closely manage the services and not the servers and measure the performance they deliver.
Secondly the network administrator also needs to know what applications are contributing to such a load and which users/user groups are responsible for generating such traffic.
IP is increasingly turning into a "carrier service" for the most diverse services, even for voice services (voice over IP). The customer wants to have the possibility to use the same services via the most diverse transmission techniques (e.g. http via ISDN, xDSL or GPRS/UMTS).
Furthermore, the continuous intensification of multimedia services is causing a dramatic increase in the requirement of bandwidth. Therefore, modern network managing systems must be able, among others, to set priorities for individual services or users (Quality of Service), in order to make the best possible use of the different services with variable bandwidth requirements via diverse access technologies.
Increasingly, the corporate backbone network is a high-speed network with Gigabit Ethernet deployed across the enterprise. U&I's Gigabit NetMon is the industry leading solution that manages the high-speed network infrastructure and reduces your network downtime. This advanced suite delivers efficient network management tools to help you proactively monitor your network, optimize performance, and resolve problems before they impact users, customers, or your corporate bottom line.
